MCL-displaced man, son attempt suicide
Tension prevailed in front of the Angul district Collector office on Monday when a man and his son attempted self-immolation alleging that they are yet to get a job in the MCL Bharatpur mines after being displaced for the project.
Sources said Suresh Behera of Suluda village in Talcher has been displaced for the MCL Bharatpur mines project. But none of his family members has been provided a job in the company till yet.
After repeated appeals made to the MCL authorities and the district administration went in vain, Suresh and his son Ajay attempted to end their lives at around 11 am by pouring kerosene on themselves.
